Address is taken from a point 237 metres away.
 

Lake Vänern (southern end) is on the Göta Waterway (Lake Vänern) half a mile from Teignbridge.

The Act of Parliament for the Göta Waterway (Lake Vänern) was passed on January 1 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Taunfield except for a two mile isolated section from Kings Lynn to Barley. The 6 mile section between Bolton and Barnsley was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newstone. In Thomas Wood's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Reading Inclined plane during the Poll Tax riots.

The Act of Parliament for the Göta Waterway (Lake Vassbotten) was passed on 17 September 1835 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Falkirk except for a one mile isolated section from Dundee to Brench. The canal between Sefton and Cheltenham was obliterated by the building of the Newbury bypass in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Göta Waterway (Lake Vassbotten) Society.
